“Pull back a little from out own (time) and you can see our more distant relatives, and the more ancient common ancestors that gave rise to us all. The echinoderms – star fishes and sea urchins – come into view. Pull back farther still and another major branch of animals – which includes arthropods and crustaceans – emerges. Along these . . . branches you can read thousands of transitions just as you can among the early tetrapods or whales, such as how insects came to land or how they came to fly.”

Inspired by Jung, I called this poem “Dioskouri” after the Greek and Roman mythology of the twins Castor and Pollux , the twin sons of Leda but conceived on the same night by different fathers, Zeus and Tyndareus, resulting in each twin sharing similar but also different characteristics with the other.

“If we recall the metaphor introduced by Shakespeare that all the world is a stage, then general relativity admits the possibility of trapdoors. But instead of leading to the basement, we find that the trapdoors lead to parallel stages like the original. Imagine the stage of life consisting of multistory stages, one on top of the next. On each stage, the actors read their lines and wander around the set, thinking that their stage is the only one, oblivious of the possibilities of alternative realities. However, if one day they accidently fall into a trapdoor, they find themselves thrust into an entirely new stage, with new laws, new rules, and a new

script. But if an infinite number of universes can exist, then is life possible in any of these universes with different physical laws?” – Michio Kaku,
